We know many of you are interested in that great Canadian band, Rush. They are just releasing their new album (supposed to be superb) called "Snakes and Arrows", and we hear that amongst the "thank yous" in the credits is one for our own David Gilmour.

We've done some digging to find out why, and it turns out David chatted with Alex Lifeson about writing using acoustic guitar (download an interview clip here). Alex then used that conversation to encourage himself to use acoustic in writing the new S&A songs. (Our thanks to Eric from Power Windows, and to Bert)
